Make sure the size and ream weight of your documents are acceptable by the
scanner. Refer to “Appendix A: Specifications” of this guide for more information.
To scan multiple documents in a batch from the ADF can increase your work
efficiency and make large scanning tasks easier. The ADF of this scanner accepts a
variety of paper and stationery you may use in your daily work or personal life, such as:
Normal paper whose size and ream weight meet the requirements stated in
“Appendix A: Specifications” of this guide.
Notched paper
Coated paper (e.g., brochure)
Attention
To prevent paper feeding errors and damages to
the ADF unit, strictly follow the instructions below:
Remove all small objects e.g., paper clips,
pins, staples or any other fasteners attached,
before loading the paper into the ADF.
Make sure the paper is completely flat with
no creased or curled corners.
Avoid scanning documents with pencil lead
and newspaper clippings as they will make
the ADF exposure glass and the inner ADF
dirty. If you have to scan such paper, clean
the scanner frequently (refer to “Chapter III.
Care and Maintenance” of this guide for
more information).
59
However, don’t use the ADF to scan documents if they meet any of the following
conditions:
Paper lighter than 40 g/m2 (12 lb.) or heavier than 157 g/m2 (40 lb.)
Paper with clips or staples attached
Paper with inconsistent thickness, e.g., envelops
Paper with wrinkles, curls, folds, or tears
Paper with an odd (non-rectangular) shape
Tracing paper
Carbon paper, pressure sensitive paper, carbonless paper
Items other than paper, e.g., cloth, metal foil.
Attention
DO NOT use the ADF to scan photographic
sheets or particularly valuable document
originals; wrinkles or other damages can
happen in case of paper feeding errors.
DO NOT place paper with wet ink or
correction fluid into the ADF. Wait few
minutes for it to get dry.

Before loading documents into the ADF, loosen them as follows:
1. Fan the documents so that no two pages are sticking together.
2. Hold the documents upside down with both hands, and then gently push them
onto a flat surface to align the edges of all documents.
This will allow documents being fed into the ADF one at a time and prevent paper-
feeding errors.
60
PLACING DOCUMENTS
1. Load the documents, headfirst and face down, toward the center of the ADF
paper chute and all the way into the ADF until touching the bottom.
For single-sided scans, load the documents face down so that the side to be
scanned faces towards the paper chute.
For double-sided scans, load the desired page order of documents face down
so that the side to be scanned faces towards the paper chute.
2. If you need to scan longer documents, pull out the paper chute extension and
stacker to provide further support for the documents.
61
3. Adjust the paper width slider for the paper size you are using. The paper width
slider should be gently touching both sides of the documents.
Attention
DO NOT load more than 50 sheets of paper
(70 g/m2, 18 lb.) to the ADF.
Paper scanned from the ADF must be a
minimum of 5.08 x 5.08 cm (2” x 2”, W x L).
Make sure there are no gaps between the
document stack and the paper-width slider;
otherwise, the scanned images can be
skewed.
Although the documents should be loaded
firmly in place ensuring optimum scanning
accuracy, they should never be wedged in
so tightly that the process of feeding them
through the scanner is strained.
Do not load additional paper into the ADF
while the unit is feeding and scanning.
PLACING BUSINESS CARDS
1. Horizontally load the business cards, headfirst and face down, toward the
center of the ADF and all the way into the ADF until touching the bottom.
For single-sided scans, load the business cards face down.
For double-sided scans, load the business cards in desired order.
2. Adjust the paper width slider to the business card width. The paper width slider
should be gently touching both sides of the business cards.
62
Attention
Make sure the business cards you wish to
scan are horizontally loaded into the ADF.
Do not load more than 30 business cards in
a batch.
PLACING PLASTIC CARDS
The plastic card can be embossed credit card, driver license, ID card, insurance
card, medic-care card or any membership card. Make sure to load the embossed face
of the embossed card face up into the scanner. When scanning multiple embossed
cards, the pad module can be removed to ease the scanning process. To remove the
pad module, please refer to the following instruction:
1. Open the panel unit by pulling the panel unit open lever.
Panel unit open leve
r
Panel unit
2. Remove the pad module by pinching both sides of the pad module and pull it
out.
63
3. Close the panel unit by pushing it back down until it snaps back into place.
4. Horizontally load the plastic card, headfirst and face up, toward the center of
the ADF.
Make sure to load the embossed face of the embossed card face up into the
scanner.
For double-sided scans, load the card in desired order.
5. Adjust the paper width slider to the card width. The paper width slider should be
gently touching both sides of the card.
Attention
Make sure the plastic cards you wish to scan
are horizontally loaded into the ADF.
Maximum thickness of each plastic card is
1.2 mm.

CHAPTER III. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your scanner is designed to be maintenance-free. However, constant care and
maintenance can keep your scanner working smoothly.
CLEANING THE SCANNER
Paper powder, dust, ink and toner from paper being scanned may make the inner
ADF dirty, which leads to poor image quality or document-feeding errors. How often to
clean your scanner depends on the type of paper and number of pages being scanned.
Perform the following procedures to clean the scanner surface and the ADF unit.
Gently wipe locations described herein. Do not rub too hard.
Warning
Before cleaning the scanner, turn off the
scanner and disconnect the scanner’s power
cable and Ethernet cable, and then wait a
few minutes for the glass and/or the inner
ADF to cool to ambient temperature.
Wash your hands with soap and water after
cleaning the scanner.
